One of the most promising and exciting boxers in Vietnam. Duong is a dynamic puncher and has boxing skills to match. His style is perfectly suited to the professional arena where he will thrive on the biggest challenges. Nguyen Van Duong is unbeaten in previous Victory 8, and won his first pro match in Korea delivering a violent beating to his opponent.
October 19th, 2019 brought another major challenge. He faced another big and classy opponent, Jenel Lausa, a powerful Philippines pro boxer who also compete in UFC. Against all odds, Duong out maneuvered his powerful opponent to claim a victory that shocked those in the Philippines.
Nguyễn Văn Đương vừa có chiến thắng 4-0 trước võ sĩ Nepal Lama Buddha Gyamjo, qua đó vào vòng trong gặp ĐKVĐ thế giới Abdumalik Khalokov (Uzbekistan).
Sở dĩ Đương thắng 4-0 bởi có trọng tài chấm 28-28, trong khi cũng có trọng tài chấm 25-30, 26-30...

2 tuyển thủ boxing Phước Tùng và Minh Cường cùng show ảnh tryhard từ Thái Lan, trong chuyến tập huấn cuối cùng trước khi lên đường tới Hàng Châu, Trung Quốc tranh tài ASIAD 19.
Đây là cách các thành viên đội tuyển boxing gửi lời chúc mừng lễ Quốc Khánh 2/9. Với họ nhiệm vụ quốc gia là thiêng liêng, được sống và chiến đấu cho màu cờ sắc áo là vinh dự.
Theo nguồn tin của iThethao.vn, đội tuyển boxing nam Việt Nam đã chốt 5 thành viên, trong đó có 1 HLV và 4 VĐV dự ASIAD 19 tại Hàng Châu, Trung Quốc vào cuối tháng 9.
1, HLV trưởng Nguyễn Anh Dũng
2, Nguyễn Minh Cường - võ sĩ hạng 51kg
3, Nguyễn Văn Đương - võ sĩ hạng 57kg
4, Bùi Phước Tùng - võ sĩ hạng 71kg
5, Nguyễn Mạnh Cường - võ sĩ hạng 80kg
Danh sách 4 võ sĩ tham dự ASIAD 19 đã thay đổi so với danh sách đi tập huấn tại Uzbekistan hồi tháng 7. Trước đó, ngoài 4 cái kể trên còn có Vũ Thành Đạt - võ sĩ hạng 65kg. Do dính chấn thương vai, Thành Đạt đã phải chấp nhận bỏ lỡ Đại hội năm nay.
Những võ sĩ nằm trong danh sách dự ASIAD 19 đều là những cái tên tốt nhất của boxing Nam Việt Nam thời điểm hiện tại. Bùi Phước Tùng là chủ nhân của tấm HCV SEA Games 32, Nguyễn Văn Đương và Nguyễn Minh Cường đều giành được huy chương trong chuyến tập huấn và thi đấu tại Uzbekistan, Nguyễn Mạnh Cường cũng cho thấy sự tiến bộ sau quãng thời gian tập luyện rất căng thẳng.
Tuyển Boxing Nam Việt Nam kết thúc chuyến tập huấn và thi đấu kéo dài 1 tháng tại Uzbekistan. Trong chuyến tập huấn, cả đội đã tham gia thi đấu giải giao hữu giữa các nước cùng tập luyện tại Uzbekistan. Nguyễn Minh Cường và Nguyễn Văn Đương lần lượt giành 1 HCB và 1 HCĐ về cho Boxing Việt Nam.
Sau khi kết thúc chuyến tập huấn này, các thành viên đội tuyển Boxing Nam Việt Nam tiếp tục chuẩn bị lên đường thi đấu giải Đài Loan mở rộng vào ngày 17/8. Giải đấu sẽ diễn ra trong 5 ngày. Sau khi kết thúc giải đấu, toàn đội sẽ tiếp tục ở lại tập luyện và trở về nước vào thời điểm cuối tháng 8.
Chia sẻ với ithethao.vn, HLV trưởng ĐT Boxing Nam Việt Nam cho biết: "Bùi Phước Tùng và Nguyễn Văn Đương là hai võ sĩ được BHL và chuyên gia đặt kỳ vọng sẽ giành huy chương ở ASIAD 19 tới."
Ở SEA Games 32 vừa qua, Bùi Phước Tùng có chiến thắng K.O cực kỳ chóng vánh trước Atichai Phoemsak - võ sĩ rất mạnh đến từ Thái Lan để giành tấm HCV hạng cân 71kg. Đáng chú ý, Phước Tùng giành được HCV ngay trong lần đầu thi đấu tại một kỳ Đại hội thể thao Đông Nam Á.
Nguyễn Văn Đương là cái tên quen thuộc của làng boxing Việt Nam. Tay đấm sinh năm 1996 là võ sĩ Việt Nam đầu tiên vào đến vòng 16 tay đấm ở olympic. Với kinh nghiệm thi đấu quốc tế dày dặn, Văn Đương được xem là niềm hy vọng lớn nhất của Boxing nam Việt Nam tại ASIAD 19.

Võ sỹ Olympic Nguyễn Văn Đương vừa bị trọng tài xử thua tại hiệp 3 trận đấu hạng 57 kg môn boxing SEA Games 32 và đội tuyển boxing Việt Nam đã phản ứng gay gắt với quyết định này.
Hiệp 1 chứng kiến sự máu lửa của Bautista khi anh liên tục dồn ép Văn Đương vào ring đài và tấn công đa dạng từ đấm móc sườn cho đến những đòn tầm cao. Trong khi đó Văn Đương đáp trả bằng những đòn đấm móc phải tay khá tốt.
Ở hiệp đấu kế tiếp hai võ sỹ tích cực tấn công nhiều hơn. Văn Đương chủ động ra đòn tầm xa nhằm hạn chế đối thủ áp sát tung đấm cực nặng. Còn Bautista có những đòn jab, đấm móc trúng đích khá tốt.
Kịch tính được đẩy lên ở hiệp đấu cuối khi ngay đầu hiệp trọng tài cho dừng trận đấu để bác sỹ kiểm tra "chấn thương vùng mi mắt trái" của Văn Đương. Sau đó trận đấu tiếp diễn, nhưng chỉ hơn 1 phút sau trọng tài lại yêu cầu bác sỹ kiểm tra vết thương của Văn Đương.
Lần này, bác sỹ ra dấu "VĐV không thể tiếp tục" và trọng tài cho dừng trận đấu, tuyên thắng knock-out kỹ thuật (RSC) cho tay đấm Philippines, trước sự ngỡ ngàng của Văn Đương và BHL đội tuyển boxing Việt Nam.
Tại thời điểm này, theo tìm hiểu của Webthethao, bảng điểm chung cuộc cho thấy Văn Đương đang tạm dẫn. Và nếu diễn biến vẫn giống như 2 hiệp đầu thì chiến thắng gần như chắc chắn sẽ thuộc về tay đấm của Việt Nam.
Nhưng rốt cuộc tuyên bố từ trọng tài không thể đảo chiều. Ngay trên đài, BHL ĐT boxing Việt Nam đã tỏ rõ sự thất vọng và phản ánh với trọng tài cũng như bộ phận y tế rằng "vết thương ở mí mắt của Văn Đương không hề nguy hiểm và cũng không ảnh hưởng gì tới võ sỹ này cũng như trận đấu".
Sự bức xúc tiếp tục diễn ra sau khi trận đấu kết thúc khi ĐT boxing Việt Nam tiếp phản ứng với tổ y tế, giám sát, BTC, khi đưa Nguyễn Văn Đương lại chứng minh tay đấm này "không bị chấn thương nghiêm trọng đến mức phải dừng trận đấu". Tuy nhiên, sự vụ không được giải quyết rốt ráo.
Philippines Mark John Yap heads to Vietnam next month to tackle the very deadly Nguyễn Văn Duong.
Yap is a winner of 32 bouts and is Philippines #2 behind Charly Suarez.
Nguyễn Văn Duong is Vietnam's first Olympics representative since 1988. He lost in the round of 16 to the Mongolian pro who damaged Ryan Garcia in sparring for Gervonta Davis.
VSP PRO @ VSP Boxing Gym HCMC
Saturday May 27th
Vietnam's best boxer Nguyễn Văn Duong will meet Philippines champion Mark John Yap in an exhibition bout at VSP Gym in HCMC on May 27th.
The Vietnam star will likely be in excellent fitness for the proposed match, after havingthe benefits competing at the SEA Games in early May.
Philippines killer Mark John Yap will visit Vietnam for a training camp at VSP Gym, in preparation for a big fight this coming July. The winner of an incredible 32 professional bouts, Yap is a 3x OPBF champion in Japan, a country where he was unbeaten for three years prior to the pandemic. Mark John Yap is a dangerous task for the Vietnam fighter. His most recent win was in January, where he jumped two weight divisions and savagely knocked out the very durable Leonardo Doronio.
Mark John Yap makes a guest appearance in Vietnam next month, when he introduces local champion and Olympian Nguyễn Văn Duong to his unique brand of violence.
DUONG TO BATTLE PHILIPPINES CHAMP ?
Vietnam's premier fighter Nguyễn Văn Duong hasn't seen much ring time since the Olympics, and will make a return for the SEA Games in early May. But his lack of recent competition has many wondering if the Bac Ninh boxer still has what it takes to fight at the highest level.
Philippines champion Mark John Yap will visit Vietnam in May for a training camp, and former 3X OPBF titleholder is open to working with the local talent while he is here.
A winner of 32 professional fights, Yap tore the heart out of Japan's feared Bantamweight division, going unbeaten in 10 fights over a 3 year period. His most recent fight was in January of this year, where he jumped two weight classes and knocked out former Manny Pacquiao sparring mate Leonardo Doronio.
Asked whether he would be open to an exhibition bout whilst he is in Vietnam, potentially against a killer like Nguyễn Văn Duong, the Philippines star smiled and said :
" Sure, why not, it sounds like a lot of fun ! Let's make it happen !! "
Nguyễn Văn Duong and Brazil's outstanding Esquiva Falcao are just two of the big names taking part in the "friendly" at Cocky Buffalo gym in Ho Chi Minh City today.
Falcao was a silver medallist winner at the 2012 Olympics, and has since gone on an unbeaten 30 fight winning streak as a pro. The world #14 will spar Vietnam Lightweight champ Dinh Hong Quan as part of today's exhibition.
DInh Hong Quan, Nguyễn Văn Duong, Vu Thanh Dat and many others joining Brazilian champ Esquiva Falcao in a friendly sparring day today at Cocky Buffalo gym in District 7 HCMC today.
In 2018, we were guessing they could, but we didn't really know for sure!
So we invited 5 Korean pros to Vietnam to test them out.
4 wins and 3 knockouts later, we got our answer !
Yes, they are pretty damn good!!
This Vietnam killer is Nguyen Van Duong. His Korean opponent already had 5 pro wins.
It was meant to be an exhibition where the pros teach the amateurs.
Who wants to see Duong in Manila this July make a pro debut?
More importantly, who wants to fight him?
Bên cạnh các hoạt động của Boxing bán chuyên như việc tập trung lực lượng chuẩn bị cho SEA Games 31, ASIAD 19 sẽ diễn ra trong năm 2022, phương hướng phát triển nền Boxing chuyên nghiệp Việt Nam là một trong những chủ đề được quan tâm trong thời gian trở lại đây.
Cùng với các cấp quản lý nhà nước như Bộ môn Boxing - Tổng cục Thể dục thể thao hay Liên đoàn Boxing Việt Nam, sự xuất hiện của những đơn vị tư nhân đã thổi một làn gió mới vào quá trình đào tạo các võ sĩ chuyên nghiệp. Dù vậy, để có thể thực sự tổ chức một nền boxing nhà nghề thực thụ, Boxing Việt Nam cần có những thay đổi nào. Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh, trưởng bộ môn Boxing/Kickboxing, Tổng cục Thể dục thể thao đã có những chia sẻ về vấn đề này.
PV: Trong thời gian vừa qua, Boxing Việt Nam đã chứng kiến một số lần hợp tác giữa các đơn vị quản lý nhà nước với những đơn vị tư nhân, ông đánh giá thế nào về tính hiệu quả của sự hợp tác này?
Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh: Trước đây, bộ môn cũng đã làm việc với các trung tâm đào tạo võ sĩ chuyên nghiệp, như Nguyễn Văn Đương với VSP, Trương Đình Hoàng tại Saigon Sports Club. Các vận động viên được tập trung tập huấn, thi đấu nhiều và thể lực chuyên môn tăng lên rất tốt. Về trường hợp của Thu Nhi, tôi cũng đã sang Campuchia theo dõi trận đấu tranh đai WBO Châu Á – Thái Bình Dương. Tôi đánh giá Cocky Buffalo là đơn vị rất tâm huyết trong việc đưa các võ sĩ thi đấu chuyên nghiệp.
Một số vận động viên từ đội tuyển Quốc gia cũng từng tham gia các sự kiện do Cocky Buffalo tổ chức. Trong thời gian tới khi tình hình dịch bệnh được kiểm soát, chúng tôi sẽ làm việc lại với CLB để có phương án hỗ trợ vận động viên đội tuyển tập luyện, thi đấu chuyên nghiệp tăng tính cọ xát.
PV: Theo như nguyện vọng của một số đơn vị, ông có thấy cần phải đưa ra một cơ chế hợp tác chung, thay vì các trường hợp đơn lẻ như trước đây?
Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh: Về vấn đề này, đúng là cần có một cơ chế làm việc. Ví dụ như trường hợp của võ sĩ Nguyễn Văn Đương, khi kí hợp đồng với VSP để thi đấu chuyên nghiệp nhưng vẫn do đội tuyển Quốc gia quản lý. Có nhiều phương án, ví dụ như để võ sĩ kí hợp đồng thi đấu các sự kiện do công ty tổ chức nhằm tăng khả năng cọ xát. Hoặc các công ty cùng với đội tuyển chi trả lương cho võ sĩ tập luyện thi đấu song song.
PV: Lại nói về vấn đề chuyên nghiệp hóa Boxing Việt Nam trong thời gian qua, các đơn vị tư nhân cũng có tâm tư về những hạn chế trong việc phát triển Boxing chuyên nghiệp, ông có nhận định gì về vấn đề này?
Đặc biệt, trong thời gian tới, Boxing Việt Nam cần có những thay đổi gì để phù hợp với những cơ hội trước mắt?
Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh: Quả thực, Việt Nam chưa tổ chức được các giải chuyên nghiệp, những sự kiện đã xuất hiện đều do những công ty, đơn vị tư nhân tự thân thực hiện. Như VSP với Victory 8, Cocky Buffalo chủ động đưa VĐV ra nước ngoài thi đấu, cách làm này rất tốt mà theo tôi các cơ quan quản lý cũng cần chung tay thực hiện.
Trên thực tế, Liên đoàn Quyền Anh Việt Nam đã có tổ chức Ban chuyên nghiệp để thực hiện những công tác trên. Tuy nhiên trong thời gian vừa qua, Ban chuyên nghiệp theo tôi đánh giá hoạt động vẫn chưa hiệu quả và không đóng góp được gì vào công tác chuyên nghiệp hóa cho Boxing Việt Nam.
Thời gian tới, khi Liên đoàn Quyền Anh Việt Nam tổ chức kiện toàn lại bộ máy, theo tôi, ta có thể chọn ra một trong số các công ty có năng lực, tiếp xúc những Liên đoàn quốc tế để tổ chức các sự kiện chuyên nghiệp.
Tôi đã từng làm việc với một số đơn vị, nếu ta giao công tác của Ban chuyên nghiệp cho đơn vị tư nhân, họ có quyền đào tạo vận động viên, đồng thời có nhiệm vụ kêu gọi tài trợ để đầu tư cho Boxing Việt Nam. Họ cũng rất sẵn sàng với phương án này.
Khi đó, Liên đoàn và Bộ môn có thể tập trung đào tạo hệ bán chuyên, còn Ban chuyên nghiệp và công ty tư nhân sẽ đảm nhận nhiệm vụ với hệ chuyên nghiệp, bao gồm tổ chức thi đấu hoặc có thể cả tranh đai quốc tế.
Nếu tổ chức lại được bộ máy Liên đoàn Boxing Việt Nam và Ban chuyên nghiệp hoạt động đúng như tên gọi và vai trò, tôi tin các sự kiện thi đấu chuyên nghiệp sẽ được tổ chức thường xuyên hơn, tạo thêm nhiều cơ hội thi đấu cho các vận động viên.
Xin cảm ơn ông !!!
"Bộ môn đã soạn thảo chương trình tập huấn trọng điểm, thuê chuyên gia nước ngoài cho 2 VĐV Nguyễn Văn Đương và Nguyễn Thị Tâm để nhắm tới SEA Games và ASIAD để trình lên Tổng cục TDTT. Trong năm tới, các vận động viên sẽ thực hiện tập huấn dài hạn ở nước ngoài. Nguyễn Văn Đương có thể sang tập huấn tại Cuba cùng chuyên gia tại đây, với Nguyễn Thị Tâm, chúng tôi đang tính toán về chương trình tập huấn ở Nga hoặc một số nước Châu Âu – nơi có nền Boxing nữ phát triển. Về SEA Games, bộ môn cũng đã tham mưu với lãnh đạo Tổng cục, gửi công văn về các địa phương có vận động viên tiềm năng giành huy chương đề xuất đưa đi tập huấn cùng với em Tâm và em Đương trong năm sau 2022." - Ông Vũ Đức Thịnh - trưởng Bộ môn Boxing, Tổng cục TDTT, chia sẻ.

So, you are watching a boxing match and it is clear that Boxer A is getting his faced punched in by the Boxer B. After many rounds, the final bell rings and you are 100% certain that the Boxer B had won the fight but suddenly judges award the win to the Boxer A and you are left thinking "what just happened?". This post will shed some light as to how this could easily happen.
At VSP, we have our own boxing gym (VSP Boxing) where boxers under company management are trained for professional matches. We also have our own boxing promotions company (VSP Promotions). We even have our own boxing event brand called Victory8. What I am about to tell you is something which happens behind the curtains that may help you understand why some boxing matches end up favoring a boxer who you are quite sure lost the match.
To fully understand what happens, you need to put yourself in the shoe of the Boxer and his/her manager. the manager generally thinks that if the boxer has an "unbeaten" record, it will help him go up the rank. This achieves two objectives. It can lead to the manager asking more money for the boxer to fight from the promoter. Secondly, the manager is hoping that a streak of victorious matches will allow the boxer to fight for the championship title which can be quite lucrative. Depending on the country/region, a regional championship title can earn 5~10,000 USD while world title can be anywhere from 50,000~1,000,000 dollars earning per fight depending on many factors which I will post another time. So, if you are the manager for the boxer, you would think your job is to try to get the boxer to fight an opponent whom you are quite confident can be beaten. (This often leads to a terrible quality fight because it is lopsided match).
Promoter (that's us) is the company that organizes and pays for everything and everyone. Here, "everyone" includes the boxers, referees, and the judges. Now, what happens when boxers are managed by a company instead of an individual? And what if that company happens to also be the "Promoter" of an event in which those boxers fight?
Let's think about a situation whereVSP has organized a boxing event in Vietnam between our Vietnamese fighters and Thai fighters. To make the scoring "fair", VSP flies in referees & judges (R&J) from Japan, China, and the Philippines. The promoter would be paying for their flight tickets, their fees, hotel, meals, as well as transportation. Lobbying can start even before the R&J arrive in Vietnam.
How about this: The promoter upgrades the flights of R&J to a business class and personally picks them up from the airport. The promoter then put them in a nice hotel with complementary drinks and takes them out to good restaurants. There, he talks about how wonderful some of the boxers are in the event (our boxers of course). The promoter never once said who the judges should vote for but as you can see, the R&J may have started to develop a certain bias.
Did you know that R&J are often part time jobs for many? Imagine you are one of the judges invited to come to Vietnam. You are treated very well, paid well, and even taken around by the promoter for shopping. You know that some of the boxers in the event are managed by the promoter. Now, let's say the fight was a close fight, who would you favor? If you voted against the promoter's boxer, maybe you won't be invited in the next event. Perhaps your professionalism would be so solid that none of these treatments would affect your judgement but would you be able to say the same for all of your peers?
At VSP, we don't believe in setting up our boxers to win in a match. How would a boxer improve if he is fighting an opponent worse than him all the time? We think this is a remanent of the old ways. Instead, we match our fighters such that the spectators would enjoy watching! What is the point of putting up boring shit fights that nobody wants to watch? We tell all our boxers, "It is not our job to make you win. It is our job to give you worthy challengers that will push yourself to be better" The boxing world need to change and embrace a new paradigm where the focus should be putting up fights that are 50:50 and that leads to exciting fights that viewers can appreciate and thus drive more following.
Let's change the old ways and make Boxing Great Again!

Philippines star Charly Suarez heads to Australia next month to take on the unbeaten local champion Paul Fleming (28-0)
Suarez was an acclaimed amateur, and despite a relatively recent transition to the pro ranks, the King's Warrior has already racked up 14 impressive wins.
And identical to Fleming, the Davao fighter also retains an unbeaten record.
But what seems astounding about Suarez is that, for a boxer with such a wealth of amateur experience, he has improved markedly since turning pro.
So much so, he actually appears to be an even better prospect at the longer round format.
That said, Suarez was touted as the "next big thing" when he decided to finally go pro, and here is some ringside action taken from the first professional performance of Charly Suarez.
He shows all that dynamism that he is renowned for, and it will give you some insight as to what Australia will be getting come March 15th.

Friday training at Elorde Southbox , and there were three really good ones in the ring today !
King's Warrior Charly Suarez, MMA prospect Ian Batoto, and the Silencer Arnel Baconaje engaged in light sparring for upcoming bouts.
Baconaje heads to GenSan this week for a crack at the Philippines national belt on Sunday February 26th.
Charly Suarez has a big assignment if his own. He heads to Sydney very soon, where he will challenge Aussie #1 Paul Fleming for four major belts. A win places Suarez in the world top 10 with three of those, and perhaps makes him mandatory for both IBF and IBO world titles.
Exciting fights coming up !
Arnel Baconaje takes the show on the road, when he heads to General Santos City for a national title bid on Sunday February 26th.
"The Silencer" faces top local prospect Presco Carcosia (10-2) for the Philippines national super featherweight title. Success guarantees the winner a top 10 ranking with the OPBF.
Arnel Baconaje has been in great form, having competed recently in Vietnam in December 2022.
Despite competing above his weight class, the pinoy turned in a fantastic performance in his bid for the IBF Asia Lightweight title.
In a match that could have gone either way, Baconaje lost narrowly on points on two cards, and was given a draw on another. It was an epic contest, and a valiant effort by Vietnam's Dinh Hong Quân, but there were many in attendance that thought the win should have gone to The Silencer.
You can watch the match here and judge for yourselves. It is the brand of Arnel Baconaje action that will be heading to GenSan next week and winning a national title !
The King's Warrior Charly Suarez is ready to take on Australia's best, and heading for a world title.
Charly Suarez (14-0) v Paul Fleming (28-0)
Wednesday March 15th Sydney Australia
This is genuine BEST v BEST !!!!
Arnel Baconaje was recently in Vietnam at VSP Gym prepping for a December match with Vietnam champ Dinh Hong Quân.
That was a bout in Ho Tram for the IBF Asia Lightweight title, and despite the match being above his usual weight class, Baconaje and Quân fought an extremely close battle.
The Philippines man revered as "The Silencer" returns to the ring in General Santos City (the former home of Manny Pacquiao) on Sunday February 26th. And this time, it is another big fight.
Baconaje takes on the "the Iceman" Presco Carcosia (10-2 9KO) for the Philippines national championship at Super Featherweight.
The weight class will be more favorable this time, but he faces a seriously skilled and fast opponent in Carcosia, so it should be a great main event.
VSP are big admirers of Arnel Baconaje, who always prepares well and turns in excitement filled performances, so we wish him luck in pursuit of the Philippines title next Sunday.
RoyRoy Sumugat returns to the ring on March 30 to take on top young prospect Richard Bulacan.
The swinging southpaw from the Elorde team is one of the most natural talents in Philippines boxing, and combine that with his vast experience, Sumugat always presents as a formidable opponent.
Bulacan is an awesome talent, and though only 23 years of age, has already racked up 8 wins to launch his pro career. Despite his successes, Big Roy Sumugat represents his biggest potential scalp so far.
This is a great undercard bout in Pangasinan. Expect RoyRoy Sumugat to come swinging that HAMMER !
The youngest fighter to contest VSP PRO this month is Hanoi girl Ngo Ngoc Linh Chi, who matches up with Matrix Gym power puncher Le Thi Ngoc Hanh.
At only 17 years of age, and making her Pro debut, Chi started to learn boxing in May 2017.
Her aptitude was obvious, and she began competing in 2020 - achieving a silver medal in national youth championship in 2020, a bronze medal in the national youth championship in 2022, and also a bronze medal of national club championship in 2022 . Busy girl, and learning fast !!
Come watch Linh Chi and a host of great young fighters make their pro debut later this month in HCMC.

Mark John Yap opened his new year account in stunning fashion, scoring a stoppage win over what appeared to be a very good version of Philippines Lightweight Leonardo Doronio.
Unable to secure a suitable 130 opponent for his first hitout of the year, Yap opted to jump a weight class and get a physical exam with the vastly experienced and durable Doronio.
It was very noticeable at the weigh-in, that aside from being the much larger boxer, Leonardo Doronio was in the best physical shape that he has been in for a very long time.
And he performed very well, while it lasted, and we look forward to seeing Doronio back again this year to see what he can produce.
But for Mark John Yap, it really was a patient yet lethal execution of a necessary task, and certainly showed shades of the brutality that he inflicted on Japan's best fighters prior to the pandemic.
Watch the full fight here, and you will see this dog has got a bite worse than his bark.
Yap Yap !
Paul Fleming has questioned the experience of Liam Wilson's team after the younger man's controversial world-title loss, saying he would never have let the weigh-in go ahead.
And the ageing super featherweight says he will not be a "rebound fight" after being called out following Wilson's gut-wrenching defeat in Phoenix.
Wilson has appealed against the decision in his loss to Emanuel Navarrete, keeping alive slim hopes of a rematch after footage showed a 27-second allowance - almost triple the traditional count - when the Australian floored the red-hot favourite in the fourth round.
The rank outsider, in his US debut, also weighed in about 2kg lighter than expected in a bizarre lead-in drama that had Wilson's camp threatening to boycott the WBO title fight after claims of cheating.
Wilson was eventually stopped in the ninth round on Friday by a resurgent Navarrete, who became a three-division champion and improved to a perfect 11 wins in world-title fights to set up a lucrative blockbuster with fellow Mexican Oscar Valdez.
"I would have said, 'No way, these scales aren't right' and stopped it then and there and requested another set of scales," Fleming told AAP of the weigh-in drama in which Navarrete came in narrowly under the 59kg limit.
"I guess that's just inexperience."
Keen to capitalise on a profile boost after scaring the likely future hall-of-famer, Wilson has called out Fleming for an all-Australian blockbuster.
But Fleming (28 wins, one no result) fights at the same weight, is world ranked by rival bodies the WBA and IBF and is quickly rebuilding his following in a late-blooming career.
If the 34-year-old beats impressive Filipino Charly Suarez (18-0) on March 16 in Sydney he will move closer to an overdue title shot - but potentially further from a duel with WBO favourite Wilson.
He just got his shot at the world title," Beijing Olympian Fleming said.
"I'm nearly 35 and still haven't had mine, so it's the Suarez fight first and then I'm not going to fight Liam for his ego or a rebound.
"I only want fights that'll move me closer to a world title.
"If it is one of those, then 150 per cent let's do it; we've been calling for it and it's a bit funny now it suits him he's calling it out."
If the pair continue to diverge it could mean they only fight to unify different world-title belts.
"Liam's very dangerous very early, but from what I've seen he loses his way (in the later rounds)," Fleming said.
"He's got a good left hook, but that one shot ain't going to work fighting me.
"I'm more elusive; you've got to have more in your repertoire."

The team of Liam Wilson have turned their attentions to Australian indigenous star Paul Fleming, and possibly to Teofimo Lopez conqueror George Kambosos, if they are not granted a rematch after Saturday's controversial title fight in the US.
The No Limit team have lodged a complaint regarding the delay (up to 28 seconds) afforded to Emmanuel Navarrete after Wilson dropped him in the 4th round of their fight.
Paul Fleming has an outstanding record of 28 and 0, and many regard the man dubbed "Showtime" as the most naturally talented Aussie fighter in recent years. He is also ranked in the top 15 with the IBF, WBA and WBC, and will force his way into the top 10 assuming he is successful in his next bout on March 16th.
Paul Fleming meets Philippines star Charly Suarez in Sydney, and it appears the teams of Wilson and Fleming are both totally overlooking the unbeaten pinoy.
The word is strong in Australia that the Fleming team are extremely confident of delivering the King's Warrior his first loss, and are predicting it to come in spectacular fashion. They feel a knockout win is required to stamp his claims to being Australia's best in the weight class.
Alternatively, a win by Suarez elevates the Philippines man to #3 with the IBF, and a possible mouth watering clash with Liam Wilson.
Le Hoang Hiep took a dive in the deep end when he took on the Philippines Jetro Pabustan last December.
Despite jumping some weight classes, the rumored Russian gang member was confident he could handle the former WBO World title contender, and true to his word, he delivered a great all action display.
Baby Kong will return to the ring for VSP PRO this month, and as usual, he is immodest about his prospects.
"Please get me the address of my opponent's parents, I will send an apology note and flowers.
Sorry for the ass kickin' It was just all business. Signed Baby Kong!"

When talking about the fabled Vietnamese Tiger fighting spirit, they surely must have based the narrative around Thai Hoang Huy !
This former HCMC Muay Thai champion fell in love with boxing only in recent times, and made his debut in an exhibition bout against an absolute killer named JonJon Estrada - a man who has created absolute carnage in just about every fight he contests.
Estrada had previously scored 15 wins as a professional and owns THE BEST knockout stats in the featherweight division - 14 of his victims have been put to sleep !
And Thai Hoang Huy had NEVER even competed in a boxing match !
Huy did a great job, and after surviving a round one knockdown, traded leather with Estrada until the referee stopped the match in round 3.
It was great learning for the fighter with the ring name of Nak Su, which naturally enough, means WARRIOR.
Saturday February 25, Nak Su is back, and will make his professional debut at VSP PRO.
Huy will contest a 4 round bout in the featherweight class of 57kg.
It is certainly been a crazy ride for the former muay thai fighter who hadn't tried boxing untll 3 months ago !
Palawan pugilist Erson Trinidad heads to Korakuen Hall Tokyo tomorrow, fuelled with the task of spoiling the pro debut of Japanese boxer Ryusei Matsumoto.
The local boxer is a well performed amateur, who even got to face Carlo Paalam in the 3 round format. But he has a significant task tomorrow against the boy from Puerto Princesa.
Erson "the Trigger" Trinidad has already notched up 5 wins and 3 knockouts, and his aim will be to show the Japanese crowd a bit of that famous Palawan island spice tomorrow.
Lots of interest in this one. Outstanding featherweight Emmanuel Navarrete moves up a weight class in an effort to take the vacant WBO super featherweight title.
Former world champ Oscar Valdez was the original opponent slated for Navarrete, but was subsequently replaced by Australian Liam Wilson.
Wilson is well known to Philippines fans as the man dropped by Joe Noynay, subsequently reversing that outcome in a rematch.
Wilson is a big 130lb fighter and always in great shape, so it will be interesting to see if Navarrete is as effective in the new weight class against a larger and heavy handed opponent.
Two of the best young emerging talents in the Philippines come out of Quibors Boxing Gym in Manila.
Weljon Mindoro and Jerald Into are still in the learning phase of their boxing careers, but have performed amazingly well so far, and have both managed to maintain unbeaten records.
Unlike many of their industry colleagues, Mindoro and Into are blessed with height and wing span, and this will be a huge asset once they progress to international bouts. Jerald Into has already had a taste, putting on a great performance to outpoint top Vietnam visitor Nguyễn Văn Hải at home in Manila in August 2022.
The two young fighters attracted some interested onlookers today, and were watched on by top trainer and fighter combination Delfin Boholst and Charly Suarez.\
Leonardo Doronio and Mark John Yap were the two most experienced boxers to grace the ring at REVOLUTION yesterday.
Both boxers looked in great shape, and it was very definitely the best version of Doronio we have seen in recent fights.
He pumped out skillful jabs that forced Yap to change position in the early rounds, and looked very comfortable in defense. Doronio also looked more dynamic than he has in a long while, and always looked dangerous. Based on yesterday's performance, Leonardo Doronio has a lot more wins in store.
Mark John Yap, superlatives often fall short, but his skills and killer were again to the fore.
Watch carefully how he set up that hook.
Bravo to Yap - bring on 2023 !

Novice boxers and with plenty of upside suitably describe Marklin Itim and Clarence Breboneria, who are perfectly matched at tomorrow's REVOLUTION event.
Both fighters have two wins in the professional ranks, and both have aspirations to have big careers in the sport of boxing.
Marklin Itim clearly has the edge in experience, having competed really well in matches with top opponents like Lorenz Ladrada and Remon Basas.
Clarence Breboneria looked a little conservative in his first three fights, but definitely looked more relaxed in his impressive December stoppage win over Mike Siena. He is also well mentored by the team at Elorde.
This is a 6 round Super Bantamweight clash, and despite the likelihood of being a non stop action affair, expect this one to go to the judges.
This will be one of the most competitive fights of the day.
Enjoy every moment of it !
